Eating disorders can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health, affecting every aspect of an individual’s life. At Prism Wellness in Cary, NC, we offer compassionate, comprehensive treatment for individuals struggling with eating disorders. Our therapists are dedicated to supporting you through the recovery process, helping you regain control over your relationship with food and body image.
An eating disorder is a mental health condition characterized by unhealthy eating habits, an intense focus on body weight, shape, or size, and distorted body image. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These conditions can lead to serious physical and psychological consequences, so early intervention is key to recovery.
Common Signs of an Eating Disorder:
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or a loved one, seeking professional help is a critical step in the recovery process.
How Eating Disorder Treatment Can Help
At Prism Wellness, we provide personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of eating disorders and help individuals develop healthier relationships with food, their bodies, and themselves. Our therapists work with clients to restore both physical and emotional well-being in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Benefits of Eating Disorder Treatment:
Through treatment, you’ll develop tools and strategies to support lasting recovery and achieve a healthier mindset about food and your body.
At Prism Wellness, we utilize a range of evidence-based approaches to support eating disorder recovery, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Eating Disorders: CBT helps individuals identify and challenge the negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to disordered eating. By changing these patterns, clients can establish healthier eating habits and improve their body image.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT combines mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance skills to help individuals manage the intense emotions that often accompany eating disorders, reducing the reliance on food to cope.
- Nutritional Counseling: Prism Wellness will coordinate with an existing treatment team or assist in developing one to meet each client’s needs. Working with a nutritionist, individuals learn how to nourish their bodies appropriately, develop balanced eating habits, and understand the role of food as fuel rather than a source of stress or control.
- Family-Based Therapy (FBT): FBT involves family members in the recovery process, especially for younger individuals, to ensure a supportive home environment that promotes recovery and long-term success.
- Somatic Therapy: This approach helps individuals become aware of the physical sensations associated with emotional stress and trauma, enabling them to release stored tension and develop healthier responses to triggers.
